Product Information

Overview

The Alpine RSW10D4 Proline X Micro Series combination represents the pinnacle of space-efficient bass solutions for modern vehicles. This Alpine RSW10D4 shallow subwoofer delivers exceptional 600W RMS power handling in just 3.25 inches of mounting depth, paired with a precision-engineered Proline X Micro Series enclosure that maximizes performance while minimizing space requirements. The result is a bass system that fits where traditional subwoofers cannot, without compromising the hard-hitting performance that enthusiasts demand.

Shallow-Mount Innovation for Maximum Flexibility

The Alpine RSW10D4 features groundbreaking Gen2 DD-Linear Magnetic Circuit technology that enables remarkable 20mm cone excursion - matching the performance of full-size R-Series subwoofers. The oversized 4-inch voice coil, powered by a neodymium magnet, generates substantial air movement despite the compact profile. This innovative design allows installation in tight spaces like under seats, in compact vehicles, or shallow trunk installations where depth clearance is limited.

Premium USA-Made Enclosure Engineering

The Proline X Micro Series enclosure exemplifies American craftsmanship with precision CNC-cut construction and meticulous attention to acoustic optimization. Each enclosure undergoes rigorous quality control to ensure perfect air-tight seals and optimal internal volume for the Alpine RSW10D4's specifications. The compact design maximizes bass output while requiring minimal vehicle space, making it ideal for daily drivers who need cargo room without sacrificing audio performance.

Professional-Grade Performance and Reliability

This combination delivers impressive frequency response from 29Hz to 200Hz with exceptional clarity and precision. The die-cast aluminum frame provides rigid support that minimizes unwanted resonance, while the lightweight aluminum dust cap enables quick sound transitions with minimal distortion. The dual 4-ohm voice coil configuration offers flexible wiring options for 2-ohm or 8-ohm total impedance, ensuring compatibility with various amplifier configurations.

Why This Combo Works:

Highlights

Here's why the Alpine RSW10D4 and Proline X Micro Series enclosure create such an effective combination:

🎯 Acoustic Engineering Synergy

Perfect Parameter Matching: The Alpine RSW10D4's Thiele-Small parameters (Qts: 1.19, Fs: 31Hz) are precisely matched to the Micro Series enclosure's internal volume. This isn't accidental - it's engineered optimization that ensures the subwoofer operates in its sweet spot for maximum efficiency and minimal distortion.

📐 Space Optimization Philosophy

Same Design Challenge: Both components were created to solve the identical problem - maximum bass performance in minimal space. The RSW10D4's 3.25" depth perfectly complements the enclosure's shallow profile, creating a complete system that fits where traditional combinations fail.

⚡ Power Handling Harmony

Structural Integrity: The RSW10D4's 600W RMS output generates substantial air pressure with its 20mm excursion. The Micro Series enclosure's internal bracing and high-grade MDF construction can handle this energy without flex or resonance, ensuring every watt translates to clean bass output rather than being lost to cabinet vibration.

🎵 Frequency Response Optimization

Natural Acoustic Enhancement: The sealed enclosure design naturally complements the RSW10D4's 29Hz-200Hz range. The box's acoustic properties smooth out the frequency response, preventing peaks and nulls that could make the bass sound unnatural or boomy.

🔧 Installation Simplicity

Plug-and-Play Perfection: This pairing eliminates guesswork. The RSW10D4's dual voice coils provide wiring flexibility, while the enclosure's professional terminals ensure secure connections. No need to calculate box volumes or worry about acoustic tuning - it's already optimized.

🌡️ Thermal Management

Heat Control: The RSW10D4's neodymium magnet generates heat during operation. The enclosure's internal air volume provides thermal mass for heat dissipation, while the sealed design protects the subwoofer components from dust and debris that could affect performance.

🏭 Quality Standards Alignment

Manufacturing Excellence: Alpine's Japanese precision engineering standards align perfectly with Proline X's American craftsmanship. Both companies prioritize build quality and long-term reliability, ensuring the combination performs consistently over time.

🚗 Real-World Problem Solving

Practical Application: This combo directly addresses the most common car audio challenge - getting quality bass without sacrificing vehicle functionality. It's designed for real vehicles with real space constraints, not idealized laboratory conditions.

Bottom Line: This isn't just two good products put together - it's an engineered system where each component enhances the other's performance while solving the fundamental challenge of space-constrained bass reproduction.

Subwoofer Features

Subwoofer Feature List:

Revolutionary Shallow-Mount Technology

The Alpine RSW10D4's ultra-shallow design solves the most challenging installation scenarios without performance compromise. The innovative Concentric Tube Suspension system allows the magnet structure to sit inside the voice coil rather than surrounding it, dramatically reducing overall depth while maintaining exceptional linear excursion capability. This engineering breakthrough enables installation in locations previously impossible for quality subwoofers.

Advanced Motor Structure for Superior Control

Alpine's Gen2 DD-Linear Magnetic Circuit technology represents a significant advancement in subwoofer motor design. The dual-gap voice coil structure provides enhanced magnetic field uniformity, resulting in better cone control and dramatically reduced distortion. This precision engineering ensures clean, accurate bass reproduction across the entire frequency range, from subtle low-frequency details to room-shaking impact.

Thermal Management and Reliability

Integrated cooling features in the Alpine RSW10D4's voice coil design manage heat dissipation effectively, enabling sustained high-power operation without thermal compression. The neodymium magnet structure provides maximum magnetic field strength in a compact package, while the aluminum dust cap aids in heat transfer and maintains structural integrity during extreme excursion.
